RE: Download.com bans Messenger Plus!
Yes agreed.
Many people are simply just labeling plus spyware and not using it at all. I'm sure you have all seen the thousands of "Is plus spyware threads" all over the internet. (In fact there was a new one on this forum today) The fact is some people do not know its optional, hell they dont even know its there untill they see its effects.
Remember most people who use plus are probally less computer illiterate than us. And when they think something is spyware, they will tell their friends not to download it etc etc......
And the trouble, the time, the effort taken for these people to work out how to get rid of it is enourmous.
A battle is being fought against adware by the majority of internet users. Seems funny that we here are the ones that are supporting it.
Adware is giving Msgplus! a bad repuatition in the wider msn community.
